Homocysteine & Diabetes
Elevated Homocysteine levels increase the risk of nearly every complication associated with Type 2 diabetes. In fact, Type 2 diabetic patients with elevated homocysteine levels are nearly 200% more likely to die from a heart attack within 5 years than those with normal Homocysteine levels. In addition, Homocysteine is a stronger risk factor for CVD and death in Type 2 diabetics compared to non-diabetics.
